The commercial CD single of this song (Arista 7822-13550-2) lists the time
as 4:10, but actually runs 4:20. |

| Paul, I believe you're missing the final letter on the final word of the title..."Nobody's Supposed To Be Here". |

I have what's called the "Special Slow to Fast Version" of Deborah Cox's "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" on my Promo Only Mainstream Radio DJ CD subscription series and it has a run time of 4:13. There is currently one database CD with the comment "slow to fast version", but is shown as only running 3:41.
Does anyone have a promo CD single release with the "Slow to Fast Version" who would be so kind as to pass along the track listing and run time information? |

You're the man, mainrhythm. Thanks for helping solve another promo CD single mystery!
By the way, I just now realized that the commercial CD single run time info that PaulEschen reported in his initial post was never incorporated into the database. |

Okay I'm pretty sure the only version of this song I ever heard on radio was the 4:14 Hex Hector Radio Mix. The album version is slow and feels dragged out. Anyone remember differently?
I never heard of a slow to fast version, no idea that even got played. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

What a great tune. I only heard this version a couple
times on the radio here in Florida, and only during the weekend mixshows. It was the Hex Hector Mix that I heard on-air. The local Top 40 near me never even played it. I'm sure it got to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 due to sales alone. |

I recall hearing the album version on my local Top 40
station, but I could be mistaken, as it has been a lot of years. "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" spent 8 weeks at No. 2 on the Hot 100, 1 week at No. 1 sales, and peaked at No. 6 on Hot 100 Airplay. In other words, it was a fairly big airplay hit, too. (It also spent 14 weeks at No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Hot 100, which, I believe, was a record at the time). ------------- Jason Bellenger Byron Center, Michigan, USA |

there are two hex hector mixes....the regular "hex hector radio edit" and
the "hex hector retro future radio mix".....the latter of which i remember hearing on NY's WKTU which was probably at its ratings peak around then. |

I miss the days of WKTU. They often played a lot of the cooler remixes and sometimes they brought out the extended 12 inches on some shoes. Seems these days the idea of a dance type station is lost. The peak years of WKTU was from 1996 to about 2003. After that they started adding the more pop related releases and that was that. I know a few boards that try to recreate those fantastic playlists from that era! ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

I'm sure the high airplay peak in Billboard was
completely driven by Urban radio spins. The song peaked at #30 on the Radio & Records CHR/Pop chart, although it did manage a #12 peak on the Billboard Rhythmic chart. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

To Aaron:
I seem to recall at that point in time the Hot 100 Airplay chart was compiled from only Mainstream Top-40, Adult Top-40, & Rhythmic Top-40 airplay; R&B (Urban) airplay was not utilized for this chart. Could you, or maybe Paul Haney, correct me if I am wrong? The metrics changed often on those charts... Andy |

Yes, I believe this song is one of the first ones to benefit from additional
formats being added to the airplay panel. Paul stated in another thread that R&B, country, rock, and “many other formats” were added on December 5, 1998. The Deborah Cox song came out in September 1998, so the changes would take effect only a couple months later and probably when it was reaching its 14-week run at #1 on urban radio. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Thank you for the timeline/explanation! It's tricky to try to remember when metrics changed on the various charts... Andy |

Well I'll be! They're two dance radio edits. After giving a quick listen to my copy on TM's GoldDisc 4809N the intro sounds different than the dance mix I heard on the radio. I don't see anything listed as "hex hector retro future radio mix" in Discogs, however. They're several promo CD singles listed and one features a "Dance Radio Mix" and another lists "Fast Mix". I don't own either so I can't say if they are different. ------------- DJ L. |

The Retro-Future mix and edit are for the song "It's Over
Now", not "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here". There is also a Club 69 Radio edit of "NStbH". |
